[QUOTE="zeke392, post: 683774, member: 5685"] I am a machinist, been one for 38 years. A small vertical mill would be nice but you'll end up with just as much money in tooling as you will the machine and still not have everything you need. If it were me I would buy a nicer drill press with a big, solid table. Something I could mount a nice vise on, good HP. And I would buy a nice belt sander and a nice bandsaw. The most valuable tool I have purchased is the "porta-band". [/QUOTE]
